The Hajj is a pilgrimage undertaken by Muslims every year during the 12th month of the Islamic lunar calendar. Hajj is a pillar of the Islamic faith and must be completed once in a lifetime by every able Muslim. The Hajj is supposed to signify submission to Allah and also to build solidarity between Muslims. Almost 3 million people converge on the city of Mecca every year to circle around the Kaba’h (the black cube that serves as the direction of prayer) and to kiss the black stone. Hajj fosters peace between various Arab groups.
